Hasta La Gadget!

Maybe it’s the recession; maybe it’s the realization that not every gamer has an unlimited amount of money to spend on gear. Whatever the case, preeminent gaming peripheral company Razer has introduced the Abyssus mouse, a simplified version of its high-end products with a more reachable price tag.

The Abyssus was designed to give gamers the tools they need, but not the extras. It offers a 3500-dpi infrared sensor, on-the-fly sensitivity adjustments, and three programmable buttons. This mouse can be used by either left- or right-handed users and glides on Ultraslick Teflon feet. A seven-foot cord lets you sit as far from your PC as you’d like. All this will cost you $49.99, which isn’t bad for a premium gaming mouse.

“Less is more,” said Robert “Razerguy” Krakoff, the president of Razer. “We’ve taken our ambidextrous three-button mouse design and loaded it with our industry-leading technology without the added cost of too many bells and whistles.”
